Floridians Demand Answers on Torture

Because Human Rights First is a 501(c)(3) organization, there are legal limits on the kinds of information we can publish on this blog. For example, while we’re working to make ending torture and cruel treatment an issue in the 2008 presidential campaign, we won’t be able to post directly on what the presidential candidates are saying. However, the issue is clearly on voters’ minds. Here’s a brief write-up of Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) getting grilled on a recent vote in his home state of Florida. You can bet that Florida voters will be asking the presidential candidates how they plan to put an end to torture and cruel treatment as November 2008 approaches.
